This lesson explores how to predict outcomes of games of chance. Students investigate the concepts of luck, skill and fairness, using dice games. They calculate probabilities for one and two dice rolls and compare the odds for different combinations of dice in a variety of game scenarios. The lesson is outlined in detail ...
This lesson explores how we perceive randomness. Students toss coins and record their observations while half of the class fake their results. They will then explore the differences between the random results and fake results sets and investigate theoretical probabilities for large numbers of coin flips. The lesson is outlined ...
In this lesson, students calculate the average expected value of losses on a roulette wheel over time, and use these values to analyse the cost of gambling on these games. They also study the flaws inherent in betting systems to determine whether these systems are weighted in the favour of game operators making a profit. ...
An interactive resource in which students explore, interpret and draw Venn diagrams with two attributes.
This is a 15-page guide for teachers. It continues the development of probability. A careful consideration of outcomes and equally likely outcomes is undertaken. In year 8, students see that these are a special case of finding probabilities of events by summing probabilities of the disjoint (or mutually exclusive) outcomes ...
In this introductory activity students use a simple thumb-wrestling tournament to analyse a series of matches in which there can only be one victor. Students work in small groups to explore different ways of mapping out the events of a tournament, introducing the concept of constructing sample spaces and tree diagrams as ...
This is a 22-page guide for teachers. The module provides an introduction to set notation and demonstrates its use in logic, probability and functions.
An interactive exploration of Venn diagrams with three attributes.
Interactive activities supporting students learning to describe regions of a Venn diagram.
An interactive exploration of the relationship between Venn diagrams and Two-way tables.
Worked examples and guided exercises to assist students learning to use Venn diagrams as an organiser for solving mathematical problems.
